One of the things I like about shots like this is that when processing them you find all sorts of interesting detail that you don’t notice when actually there capturing the scene. 🙂

I was scanning through some of my unpublished (or at least I think unpublished) images and found this one from Burning Man a few years ago. It was captured with the little Sony NEX-6, one of their first mirrorless cameras. Maybe the first? Anyway, didn’t it do a great job of capturing a bunch of dynamic range? Nicely done Sony!

Here’s that good old trick of using a long lens to suck the distant hills around the playa right up to the action. Fun! 🙂
